- "Orda", also "ordu", "ordo", or "horde", is a Turkic term that means "tent", "headquarters", or "royal court".
- "Orda" refers to the basic organization of the steppe nomads, which often included extended family members, servants, and livestock that lived in a certain group of tents. Successful Ordus could rise to Khanates, and therefore became a royal court.
- Both Orda and the Huns' Emblematic District Ordu are derived from this concept.
- The in-game appearance of the Orda is based on the yurt/ger, the traditional portable tent dwelling of steppe nomads.
